Nothing. But he did bring a Xbox 360 I have quite a large amount of money now, so I plan on getting a Bachmann V2 in trains4u tomorrow (maybe a review when I can run it), a couple more xbox games, and possibly a Nintendo Wii. Sorry, most of that was very non-train related.

Much better than socks eh Tom?

Pol: Phone the person who was sending it to see if they still have it, they may have forgotten, if all else fails see the postie and demand he buy you a new one.  

Oh and Noakesy: I Look forward to it!

The seller has suddenly started building up negs for non-delivery. Looks like they've done a runner.

Hmmm, maybe he's a scammer, or he might of passed away before sending the items... how close are the items together time-wise?

Between 18th and 24th of this month. Looking at their history they were always very slow to send.

Mt guess is a scammer, you probably already knew that though, just trying to see any other possibilities.

On a brighter note. I just got four brand spanking new Model Power Southern Pacific coaches today from the USA for just over £27.00 the lot. Dead chuffed I am. Nine days from buying to getting them in my grubby little hands. Not bad for international post over the Xmas season.

*There's still another set going if anyone wants them.
